CAPTAIN BARR HAS LOST ALL COURAGE.
Poor Captain Barr remained in the cabin nearly all
day. He felt so keenly the Thiste's defeat that
he coul luz summon up courage enough to
show up deck. The men received their

CONGRATULATIONS FOR CAPTAIN HOFy.
CAPTAIN Hank" Haf held sort OF levee yesterday
and received congratulations from many sources but
always pointed out how much he had been helped IN
gaining victory by the as isancc of Others He ddn
think patriotic or. judicous, however, to speak sgnt-
ingly of the Thistle that would derct from tho
value of the Volunteers victory and the fastest boat
ever but he doesn't wish to see robbed of particle
: | OF the credit due her.
General Paine thinks thevoluneer quite fast enough
for him. and doesn't believe that keel boat can bc
built to boat her. though Burgess hasn't yet made
Tp his mind point But most people though on
this side of the Atlantic at least have made up ase.r
